This pic at the bottom was actually shot the next morning. We all had to put on the same clothes we wore the day before to do reshoots of the tour in her garden and by the house, since they thought it was too dark the night before. There was a big time crunch and we were worried we'd miss our flights going back, so it's kind of funny that they ended up just using the night footage after all. None of the stuff we shot the next morning made it in!

Thanks for watching, if you did. I only sounded like a dork for 90.5% of it!

Jacob, I was so happy for you! You looked great! Not only did you get to meet Ina, but you got to mingle with all of her friends. How cool was that? I didn't think her special needed the addition of Alton or Sunny. They only used recipes that were hers or similar recipes of hers anyway....Robyn

Ina was a great hostess. She took her time and remember all your names..even the little girl. Now, that is a great hostess!!!! I love her. After this special, I love her even more. Glad to see Jefferey in the special too...he is so sweet to her. Living the lifestyle!!!

Jacob, you were a champ!! You're gonna be riding this high for a long time, trust me. *wink*

The show was very relaxed, very enjoyable to watch. I was grinnin' ear to ear the whole time. I'm glad they used the evening shots, cuz it gave the viewing audience some sense of the day's timeline. It was well done.

How long ago was the show taped?? Which of the desserts are you gonna make next week when you're in IL? We're all very excited for you and eager to hear more. *smiles*

Jacob..too cute. I loved the awe in your eyes. How wonderful of you to have experienced this. Ina is one of my faves on FN. Her humor is great and her food is always sophisticated. I hope you have an amazing Holiday season.

I saw the show last night too. I just love Ina. Like Alex-the Diva said, her food is sophisticated, but it's not snobby. I am so jealous of you, but very glad you got to go and have a wonderful time. Good to see Jeffrey pop in at the end. I think he is precious.

Do I get an album for a late birthday present? ;) Kendra was quite taken with your star turn, and I was jealous...only the whole time. Jim Bob can't wait to watch either: he TiVoed it. Have fun on T'giving!
